1/ With over 4 Million Sq Ft of office space under construction/proposed, the False Creek Flats will be unrecognizable in the next 5-10 yrs.
A thread on how this area will change East Van by adding employment density, an extension of DT #Vancouver https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/vancouver-false-creek-flats-draft-plan

2/ The area is already on the rise. It's the current home of @EmilyCarrU, @SamsungUS's #Vancouver office, @o2ebrands, and @RedTruckBeer Brewery and its famous summer concert series, remember those? https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/south-flatz-samsung-finning-international-565-great-northern-way-vancouver-headquarters-false-creek-flats
3/ The largest project for The Flats is the new St. Paul's Hospital Campus.
Located on the northwest corner next to Chinatown, the area will feature a hotel, shops, and 600,000 Sq Ft. of office space. When complete it will add 10,000 jobs in the area. https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/new-st-pauls-hospital-false-creek-flats-vancouver-city-council

4/ In terms of office space no one is busier than @PCIDevelopments. They have several projects slated for the neighborhood that totals 2 million sq. ft.
Only one of the buildings is complete. Many more are on the way... https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/pci-developments-great-northern-way-false-creek-flats-vancouver

5/ One of the bigger PCI led projects is the 2 tower tech-oriented office building, nestled between the old MEC head office and QLT's head office.
The buildings will feature approx. 350,000 sq. ft. of office space and much-needed retail on the bottom. https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/901-great-northern-way-vancouver-south-flatz

6/ Next up is @lululemon's new corporate head office. This will be the largest single building in the area when built.
It's nice to see a #Vancouver success story of this magnitude. It should be celebrated that we are home to this athleisure behemoth. https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/lululemon-vancouver-headquarters-approved

7/ The lululemon HQ will boast almost 600,000 sq ft of space. It will be one of the tallest towers at 13 storeys and 214 feet in height. The campus could house up to 5,000 employees.
Not to be lost in all this is that lululemon will also provide $15 million in public benefits.

8/ Another homegrown success story @NaturesPath will relocate its head office to The Flats with its purpose built tower at the South East corner on Great Northern Way and Clark.
The tower will feature a unique design and 167,000 sq ft of office space. https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/natures-path-headquarters-2102-keith-drive-vancouver

9/ On Main and 1st is one of the few projects that includes a residential component.
The project includes 40,370 sq ft of industrial space, 81,075-sq ft of office space, and 215 rental homes.
Great to see this stretch of Main get a new project https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/220-east-1st-avenue-vancouver

10/ Another developer that has multiple projects in the area is @RizeAlliance. The first one replaces the old Party Bazaar location next to Pacific Central Station.
The Onyx building will feature 268,000 sq ft of office space and ground-level retail. https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/the-onyx-rize-alliance-1296-station-street-vancouver

11/ Rize's second tower is on the other side of Terminal and will feature close to 110,000 square feet of office space.
This building will replace the Tim Horton's that is currently there. https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/306-terminal-avenue-vancouver-rize-alliance-the-grid

12/ Another office tower is this 7 storey tower next to Redtruck Beer. It will have approximately 150,000 square feet of office space. https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/339-east-1st-avenue-vancouver-office-building
13/ With all the activity, I think what the area needs is more breweries, cafes, and artist space to exhibit their work. With @EmilyCarrU campus in the area, it's the time to give all the amazing artists in #Vancouver the space to showcase their work.
14/ Perhaps @vanmuralfest could come up with a neighbourhood specific plan. It is after all already in the area with multiple murals.
15/ The growth of the area is another indicator of how the @CityofVancouver is evolving. There will be nearly 30,000 jobs and 5,000 residents in the area.
In the coming decades, it will probably add more employment density from the current 4 million sq ft proposed.

16/ Perhaps @jjhorgan will make Pacific Central the terminus station for the eventual Van-SEA-PDX high speed rail line. https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/vancouver-seattle-portland-high-speed-rail-project-planning
